A New Direction in My Blog

I've decided,as I've not written a new blog in a while that I should write about that which I know and love best: Music. I am a musician after all, with quite an eclectic taste in music, a knowledge of useless trivia and I think people might find what I have to say interesting.

At this point I'm not sure how I'll format it yet, but maybe I'll talk about which bands I'm into and why and fun facts about them, etc. or maybe which songs,etc.

I can tell you that I'm a singer and a percussionist. I write Christian Music but it's been a while since I've written anything new. I have written non-christian material as well, but those usually stem from something personal. My last song was a Blues/Soul song called Enabled. I think if I had the chance to record it that it would do quite well because it's actually a really good song. It has a Joss Stone feel to it. I have been writing poetry since I was seven and there are some poems that I'd love to make into songs, but I need some help arranging my music. I only write the melody and the lyrics.

I go through different phases musically in my life and usually when I like a band alot I go through a phase where thats all I listen to. For example age 7 I loved Michael Jackson.. hee hee, around 9 or 10 I saw Hall & Oates on Solid Gold and was hooked.

My First Record:
My sister Regina purchased it for me for my birthday and I was soooo happy. I actually still have it! I am suprised I didn't wear it out. I loved them into my teen years.

But I had discovered Phil Collins in 1981 via this spectacular album which I heard my Mum playing one day. The song was In The Air Tonight and I was hooked.
I think I'll discuss the next phase in my musical development in my next blog.. this is fun!
